Update: Day 622

Mudslide getting worse: A mudslide on Buena Ventura and 64th avenues in the Oakland hills has gotten worse with this winter's recent rains. The slide is undermining part of Delmont Avenue (above the slide) and partially covering Buena Ventura Avenue (below the slide). Tarps and a large pipe meant to divert water from the slide haven't been maintained in months. A concrete barrier intended to keep the slide at bay has collapsed onto Buena Ventura. It's been almost two years since ChronicleWatch first reported on the slide. ChronicleWatch tipster Kathy Eisman wonders when city officials and private property owners are going to make a permanent fix. "This is not safe for drivers, particularly at night," Eisman wrote in an e-mail to ChronicleWatch. "I am also worried that a much-larger mudslide could occur if we have a lot more rain." Michael Neary, deputy director of Oakland's Community and Economic Development Agency, said private-property owners responsible for maintaining the parcel where the slide is located have hired a contractor to repair the slide. City officials expect buttressing work to begin in the next two weeks and be finished by June, Neary said. Crews in the next two weeks will remove mud that has accumulated on Buena Ventura and install a barrier on Delmont Avenue to keep cars from driving or parking on the portion of road that is slowly slipping into the slide. "They need to resolve it, or we will," Neary said.
